I even missed participating in the Christmas Count this year. But Winter continues and bird watching opportunities have not gone away completely! I hope they never do!

One way many birders appreciate this season is by participating in the annual and International Project FeederWatch. It is a great way for the everyday citizen to be directly involved with real science research.  Partnering with Cornell University Ornithology Labs and Bird Studies- Canada, you can be a part of this year’s data collection until early April. I enjoy watching the birds that frequent our backyard feeder too when I cannot get out into the field, forest or swamp.
